Widgets

With the release of Konfabulator for Windows, I’ve been tinkering around with building a few widgets of my own. I’d like to be able to monitor the servers and systems I take care of, and to quickly be able to see when there’s a problem requiring my attention. I’ll probably also take a look at […]

D Listers Unite!

Scott McNulty over at Blankbaby writes about the qualities of ‘A List’ blogs (none of which I have), and reveling in being a ‘D List’ blogger. I like his idea of having a t-shirt (or something), but like him, no one reads this so the chances are VERY slim. Besides, one of the top qualities […]

Google Toolbar 2.0 Beta

The folks at Google have release a beta of the Google Toolbar 2.0, with new features like pop-up blocking, form auto-fill, and a BlogThis button for Blogger users. So far, I’m very impressed by the pop-up blocker – it’s seems to be catching the one I don’t want and hasn’t interfered with a number of […]
